| does not mourn the loss of wife, huS-
band, brother, sister or child, and in
some cases only one member of large
family is found to have been saved.
The survivors were supplied with cloth
ing by the officers and crew of the
EbrO as far as possible, and additional
ates on their arrival at Dover. There is
A CONSIDERABLY DISCREPANCY
between the statements of the passen-
gers and those of the officers of the
SchOlten, as there is also between the
latter and the officers of the Rosa Mary.
The officers of the Rosa MaIy declare
that their vessel was lying at anchor
when struck by the SchOlten, while the
second mate of the latter AYERS that he
was ON deck Gwhen the collision oc-
Cured and saw the Rosa Mary come
through the fog and strike the Scholten
in the fore rigging. The captain of
THE ROSA MARY
cOrrObOrated the statement of his
officers and Stoutly declares the counter
statements of the Scholten's officers to
be incorrect. The Rosa Mary, he says,
was anchored just southeast of the
south sandhead when the SchOlten
struck her. Finding that his vessel was
considerably damaged, he made for
Dover roads. where he dropped anchor
and made suitable provisions for keep
ing the ship afloat, being still unaware
of the full extent of her injuries.
George 'Appleby. of Newcastle-on-Tyne
a survivor of the w. A. Scholten, says
that among the
ENGLISH PASSENGERS
on board the lost steamer there was but
one lady, Miss Gold. 1--WE were unable
to embark in the boats,'' he says, land
were compelled to have recourse to the
life belts, of which it seems that there
were not enough to 90 round. When the
ship went down those who were fortu-
nate enough to get the belts jumped
ntO the sea and kept as close together
as possible. Although l am not able to
swim, l had no difficulty in floating with
the others, and was very little worse for
my ducking when picked up. Several
persons near me succeeded in buoying
up others, who were not belted, until
HELP CAME.
The scene Oh the deck of the SchOlten
after the collision was most horrible
and one that L shall never forget. When
the EbrO approached she threw out a
line and to this as many of US clung as
could reach it, till that vessels boats
rescued US. With two or three eXcep-
tiOnS, SO far as l know, every person
who failed to secure belt was lost and
great many of the passengers, most of
whom were drowned in their berthS.
The officers and crew of the Ebr0 cannot
be too highly praised for the bravery,
skill and kindness they exhibited.

A NUMBER ON BOARD.
The latest statement is that there were
but 210 persons on board the Scholten,
which, if true, leaves 1872 drowned or
missing. The first mate and the fourth
engineer have ebeenrecognized among the
dead. Nearly all of the dead show evil
dences of having experienced great suf-
fering. and many of them appear to
have died from other causes than
drowning. The Scholten lies four miles
off the Admiralty pier. Three masts
are visible, and as her position is dam
gerous to navigation buoy lights have
been placed over the sunken vessel. Mr..
Moore, passenger, says: "There were
six English passengers on board the
SchOlten. One of them. girl, asked US
to keep together so that the English
might go
DOWN TOGETHER.
81 was in the water long time before
being picked up. The water was at
freezing temperature and this fact I'M
doubtedly hastened the death of manyn
Another passenger says the steerage
passengers became terrOr-Stricken and
ran about the ship in wild confusion.
The captain tried in vain to restore order
among them, but they were not to be
pacified. When the two boats were
lowered these frenZied men and women
rushed far them and were with great
difficulty kept from sinking them. The
captain of the EbrO, the rescuing vessel,
BEHAVED NoBLY.
He had all his deck load of timber
thrown overheard, and this judicious
act saved many lives. Only two of the
SchOlten's boats were lowered. The
others could not be got adrift. l do not
know whether this was due to any fault
on board. The vessel listed over so
much that all the boats could not be
dropped into the water. The people
rushed about in the greatest state of ex-
citement, all trying to get place in the
two boats which had been successfully
lowered. The scare and disorder pre-
vented many persons being saved. The
water was freezing cold. This hastened
the death of many, rendering them
powerleSS."
